CPSC, Nexgrill Industries Announce Recall of Gas Grills to Replace Gas Pressure Regulator (On/Off Gauge)
As consumers adjust the gas pressure regulator (on/off gauge) leading to the propane cylinder, the label on the valve can become positioned in such a manner that it is difficult to read. This can cause consumers to inadvertently leave the gas valve on, posing a fire hazard.
